Hi
all. It is with great disappointment and much thought that I write to
tell you I have decided not to run for U.S. Congress in 2014. I spent a
lot of time this past weekend discussing it with my wife Traci and my close
friends and advisors. After thinking
deeply about the nature of running for political office and being a member of
Congress I have decided that running for political office at this point in my
life may not be the best use of my time for the cause of freedom.
Although the appeal of reaching more people with the case for freedom entices
me, there are lots of things about the entire project that discourage me.
Politics is a dirty business, and it involves telling people what they want to
hear. I am more likely to tell people what
they don’t want to hear.Modifying or watering down my position is not
something I am willing to do.

Although
I remain an activist for freedom, I am just not a political guy. I don’t
like the “dirt” and gamesmanship of politics. I also don’t like asking
people to donate money to my campaign. There are many other factors as
well. In the end, this just isn’t the right time in my life to endeavor
into the political realm. I remain open to the possibility there may come
a time I decide to wade into those political waters once again, but it isn’t
now. I apologize to those who have already begun to assist with my
campaign. I appreciate all the efforts of those who have offered to
assist me. Anyone who has donated to my campaign will receive a refund for
the money you contributed. For those who
have volunteered, I wanted to get this out as quickly as possible to you to
thank you for all you have done so far.Also, I wanted to make this announcement early so you would not commit
more of your time and resources.

I hope
we can nonetheless continue the fight for freedom through other non-political
avenues. I will continue to fight for freedom in my law practice, with my
radio show, in future articles, in speeches, and in many other ways. I
invite you to use whatever talents you have to also promote freedom in whatever
peaceful ways fit best with your skills and desires. Slowly, people are
realizing freedom works better than enslavement and coercive government.
As I have said many times, there is no centralized plan for freedom.
Let’s keep up the fight.

That's a bit of a different tone than Victor used in his bid for Senate, in which he pulled in about 4.5 percent of the votes.

"I don't care what people do with their votes," Victor told New Times
during the campaign, after a pro-Flake Super PAC claimed a vote for
Victor was really a vote for Carmona. "I'm just promoting freedom."

Obviously,
running as a Libertarian, Victor knew his odds of winning were just
about zero, and starting out this campaign with the Ron Paul
information, it doesn't look like Victor's abandoning the libertarian
message.

Victor, an honorably discharged Marine, is also an attorney, and we've noted a couple of the successes he's had of late.

Victor
actually announced his run for Senate last summer, about a week after
defending a client who was found not guilty of transporting 83 pounds of
marijuana from Douglas to Phoenix.

Then, just weeks before the election, Victor was a bit busy as he was defending Elizabeth Johnson, the mother of "Baby Gabriel."

Johnson
was facing a kidnapping charge in the trial, but a jury ended up
finding her guilty of the lesser charge of unlawful imprisonment.

That
said, it looks like Victor's actually going to take a shot at winning
the election this time, running as a Republican. Of course, to get to
Sinema, Victor would have to win that Republican primary -- which was a
seven-way race last year.

Vernon Parker won that primary race, but ended up losing to Sinema by about four percentage points.

Who is the man behind the Elizabeth Johnson case… and what’s he like outside the courtroom?

Lin Sue Cooney talks with attorney Marc J. Victor about the Elizabeth Johnson "Baby Gabriel" case and his defense of her and goes behind the scenes to see who Marc Victor is.

Marc Victor is a Criminal Defense attorney in Chandler Arizona, but is not like other attorney's. Marc Victor is a man of many sides, as well as being an attorney, he also hosts his own radio show, 'The Attorney For Freedom Show' and a politician. Marc Victor ran in the Arizona Senate race of 2012 and received over one hundred thousand votes. Although it was not enough to win, he has a very large base of support and will be running again, this time as a Congressman in CD9 against Kyrsten Sinema.

Marc victor is a family man who is married with five children. He enjoys riding his custom Harley Davidson motorcycle when he is not busy fighting for freedom.

Lin Sue Cooney sits down with Marc Victor for a one-on-one and finds out, Who is the man behind the Elizabeth Johnson case… and what’s he like outside the courtroom?

I am an American. As such, none of my rights depend on a showing of
need. I am a free man who has the right to define and pursue my
happiness any peaceful way I see fit. The government does not grant me
rights. I was born free. The legitimate role of government is to act as
my agent to protect my rights; which exist independent of government.
Americans do not beg the government for rights nor are they required to
demonstrate a “need” for rights.
